It’s time for Google I/O!
Google’s biggest conference of the year is here, and we’re expecting quite a bit of news from the event.
Google hosted a separate event dedicated to Android updates last week, called The Android Show. But we’re still looking forward to more, like improved notifications in Android 16, as well as support for Auracast, which should make it easier to switch between Bluetooth devices. We’re also expecting lock screen widgets and a range of new accessibility features.
We’re also prepping for new additions to Google’s flagship Gemini family of AI models, as well as news on Astra, Google’s wide-ranging effort to build AI apps and “agents” for real-time, multimodal understanding. An updated top-of-the-line Gemini Ultra model is on the way, and with it perhaps a pricier Gemini subscription.
Be sure to keep up with everything announced right here.
